Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

Chapter 261 Lao Zhu: Let’s close the door and beat the dog!

"Whether to fight or not to fight, Zuo Liangyu, if you were a man, you would give me a warm word on the spot!"

"If you don't hit me, just turn around and leave now. No ambiguity. It's just disobedience. If you lose your head, it will only cause a scar as big as a bowl!"

This voice was rough, and it was obvious that the fire in his heart had been held in for too long.

The one shouting loudly was Shaanxi Commander-in-Chief Hu Dawei. He was tall and thick-set, with dark and rough skin and a full beard. He looked obviously extremely unhappy.

He is considered to be the one with the strongest military force among the group of people present, except Zuo Liangyu.

Although Hu Dawei's headquarters did not have many troops and only brought 5,000 people with him, these 5,000 people had been used as the main force to suppress the rebels in recent years, and they had killed tens of thousands of rebels. The Corps has no problem at all.

Hu Dawei followed Lu Xiangsheng to participate in the Battle of Jiazhuang. He was one of the very few generals who broke out from Jiazhuang. He also learned almost half of his army management methods from Lu Xiangsheng. Therefore, although he has not many troops and horses under his command, All of them have the legacy of the Tianxiong Army.

"hehe."

"I'm just a little thief general. I can't decide whether to fight or not. It's up to the Superintendent to decide."

Hearing this, Zuo Liangyu just smiled coldly, completely ignoring the uncontrollable anger on Hu Dawei's face.

The superintendent on the side was stunned, thinking that Zuo Liangyu, you prick, is too flattering to me!

"What's the use of what the Superintendent said? Did Zuo Liangyu listen to the announcement or the tune?!"

"Well, call your mother Osmanthus fragrans!"

Hu Dawei has always had a bad temper, but now he was so angry that he slapped the table and spoke in dialect.

Suddenly, Zuo Liangyu's eyes widened in his seat, and he stood up and patted the table.

"Tiger big dog! Are you calling my mother?!"

Hu Dawei's black face curled up and he raised his head proudly.

"Uh no."

I will deny it even to death.

Anyway, I am the only one from Shaanxi present, and the final right to interpret dialects lies with me, Hu Dawei.

"Kunshan, Dawei, you two should stop fighting."

"The rebel army is currently strong, our army is short of food and grass, and the water source has been cut off. If we don't go to war, the situation will become even more passive. You should think of ways to defeat the enemy instead of arguing endlessly."

Although Supervisor Ding Qirui is very timid, he also knows what situation he is in now, and understands that if this delay continues, every one of these people present will have to finish the game.

Even if he didn't die on the battlefield, he would still be killed by the emperor when he returned.

Hearing this, Zuo Liangyu snorted coldly, retracted his glare at Hu Dawei, and looked at Supervisor Ding Qirui who was sitting in the main seat.

"Master Supervisor, please forgive me for speaking frankly."

"In this situation, our army has missed the best opportunity and is no longer suitable to attack. The entire army should withdraw from Zhuxian Town in an orderly manner and build a defense line a hundred miles away from Kaifeng."

The words fell.

Supervisor Ding Qirui and Baoding Governor Yang Wenyue were both stunned.

Good guy.

You surnamed Zuo are planning to throw away Kaifeng directly! The imperial decree asks you to save Kaifeng! You are clearly resisting the decree!

motherfucker.

You surnamed Zuo are used to doing random things, we don’t dare!

And, missed the best opportunity?

Didn't you always say that you should delay the attack and now you have missed the best opportunity? How dare you tease us? !

"This……"

Ding Qirui clicked his tongue for a long time and then said.

"Kunshan, you and others who have been stationed outside all year round may not understand what has happened in the capital recently. Just ten days ago, during the court meeting at Fengtian Hall, some immortals brought the ancestors of the Ming dynasty to show their respects to Fengtian Hall. Even Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Cheng Zuwen both appeared."

"In the Fengtian Palace, the Immortal deposed His Majesty the throne in public and ordered Emperor Ying Zongrui to assume the power of the Emperor on his behalf. There were even rumors that there were thousands of imperial guards in the capital who did not know where they came from. A large number of relatives and nobles in the capital donated money to help the army. "

As soon as these words came out.

Hu Dawei and others were stunned when they heard this. It was obviously the first time for them to hear such gossip.

What the hell?

Immortal? Ancestor of the Ming Dynasty?

Has the emperor changed?

Zuo Liangyu smiled faintly and did not comment on Ding Qirui's words. Obviously, he already knew this. After all, he had someone in the court.

But I know it, but I don’t believe it in my heart.

In his opinion, this was just an excuse for the imperial court to force the nobles of the capital to donate money, so there was no such thing as a fairy tale.

"These are just rumors in Beijing."

"If the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty really show up, if there really is an immortal in this world, I, Zuo Liangyu, will stand on my head and eat the night fragrance."

(Trivia: Night fragrance is excrement.)

The words fell.

The expressions of everyone present changed, with shock on their faces.

"Hehehe."

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but pinch his beard and laugh, feeling very satisfied with his pretending to be 13.

"You don't need to be so surprised."

"Liangyu just wants to tell you not to listen to rumors and to make your own judgment."

At this time.

Under Zuo Liangyu's gaze, everyone, including Supervisor Ding Qirui and Governor Yang Wenyue, all stood up and then knelt down toward him.

This posture really made Zuo Liangyu a little confused.

'? ? ? '

‘I’m just bragging that I dare to eat feces. Why are these people so polite to me? ’

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Most of the many generals are warriors, and they have been working hard in the army to get promotions. Even Hu Dawei, who has reached the rank of general, has probably never entered the imperial capital in his life. None of them had a chance to see the emperor.

But people like Ding Qirui and Yang Wenyue are different. They are both serious scholars. They are both veterans who have been in the capital for decades. They went to court every day when they were officials in the capital. Of course, they are very familiar with the appearance of the emperor.

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

"…………"

Continuous sounds of worship rang out in the house.

Zuo Liangyu finally reacted, feeling extremely shocked.

He subconsciously wanted to stand up, but for some reason, he always felt that his legs were weakening, and his butt seemed to weigh ten thousand kilograms, and he couldn't stand up no matter what.

His forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his back was soaked through.

At this time, the sound of footsteps sounded in my ears.

Zuo Liangyu subconsciously glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw two chairs moved to the main seat and placed flush with each other. A strange middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe and a young man sat side by side.

however.

What made Zuo Liangyu's pupils shrink the most was.

He went to Beijing that year and was fortunate enough to meet Emperor Chongzhen in the Fengtian Palace.

But at this moment, the supreme Emperor Chongzhen, who was so high in his heart, was actually standing behind the two chairs. He was not even qualified to stand close to them, just standing on the side.

Yea.

At the same time, there was the sound of moving chairs.

Zuo Liangyu subconsciously looked towards the opposite side and saw two people who were also wearing dragon robes, but judging from the style of the dragon robes, they were obviously not from the Ming Dynasty.

Who is this? !

As he felt shocked and doubtful, a cold voice reached his ears.

"Zuo Aiqing, do you like eating night fragrance?"

Zhu Youjian stared at Zuo Liangyu coldly and said something.

thump.

Zuo Liangyu fell off the chair and knelt on the ground, sweating profusely and trembling all over.

He is indeed rebellious by nature, usually unruly and arrogant, and always prefers to listen to what his superiors say, but that only requires being arrogant in front of people who have nothing to do with him, and in front of the emperor, Zuo Liangyu definitely did not dare to say a word.

It's hard to say who will separatize Wuchang in the future. After all, the Ming court at that time was about to send it. Zuo Liangyu's military pay was all taken by force, and he didn't need to rely on the Ming court.

However, at least Zuo Liangyu doesn't dare to do so now.

"Mo, I will not dare to..."

He lowered his head and answered bravely.

Theme.

Lao Zhu glanced at Zuo Liangyu indifferently.

Just now, Ji Boying has packaged all the glorious deeds that Zuo Liangyu has done before and will do in the future in the original history to Lao Zhu and Zhu Laosi in a "comprehensive" way, so that they can probably understand them all. Let’s take a look at the composition of this ‘loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty’.

"Throw it into the pit."

Lao Zhu said lightly.

The whole audience was stunned.

Zuo Liangyu, who was kneeling on the ground, was even more confused. What the hell? Shit pit? !

I'm kidding, I don't like eating shit!

Hello? !

"What are you doing standing still? Can't you understand what Emperor Taizu Gao said?!"

Zhu Youjian shouted sharply.

after all.

In front of this group of high-level military generals, it was still not easy to turn Zhu Qizhen's face into a black man, but Zhu Youjian's face was unimpeded.

‘Emperor Taizu? ! ’

This group of Chongzhen generals all felt a little thump in their hearts. They thought of the rumor Ding Qirui mentioned just now. It turned out that the rumor was true!

"According to the order!"

Among everyone, the one who was most excited about this meeting was Hu Dawei.

The commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province was already extremely unhappy with Zuo Liangyu. After receiving the order, he personally took action and pounced on Zuo Liangyu like a vicious tiger. He held him down and tied him up with hemp ropes. , and then dragged the confused Zuo Liangyu out of the door.

From outside the door, Hu Dawei's loud voice came.

"That so-and-so, go find a cesspit for me immediately!"

"I want the one with the most feces and the smelliest one in the whole army!"

Zuo Liangyu (｀Д*): Wan donkey ri li, Wan DIAO poke li (Shandong dialect).

"…………"

Lao Zhu just glanced at Zuo Liangyu, who was dragged away by Hu Dawei, and stopped looking.

With his temper and way of doing things, just throwing Zuo Liangyu into the pit was already a sign of God's grace. Just by "supporting soldiers with self-respect and disobeying orders", Lao Zhu was able to kill Zuo Liangyu's ancestors ten times. Yashiro pouted.

"Old rules, you decide how the battle should be fought. If you need anything, just tell me."

Ji Boying spoke lightly, raised his hand gracefully, nothing changed, and a cup of steaming Dahongpao materialized in his hand.

This move made these Chongzhen generals and officials look stupid, and they were amazed at the mysteries of the immortals.

Ji Boying knows.

Lao Zhu will arrange military operations next, and Ji Boying has always been unable to get involved in military issues.

"Understood." Lao Zhu took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

With disgust in his eyes, he glanced at Ding Qirui and others who were kneeling on the ground.

In Lao Zhu's opinion, these are all waste.

"Why are you still kneeling? Stand up!"

Say it in one word.

Ding Qirui, Yang Wenyue and others all stood up with cold sweat on their foreheads and shivering. They stood there with their heads hanging down, not daring to breathe for fear of being thrown into the cesspit.

However, they never imagined that they would have to work under Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, one day. It was really the ancestors who burned coffins - the ancestral tombs were filled with smoke.

"Zhu Youjian, go and appease the troops."

Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Youjian standing behind him.

This irritable brother Chongzhen has been proven to have no military talent at all. Anyway, his face has been wiped out, and there is no value in staying here anymore. But let him go out and show his face to show the emperor to the whole army. Fight in person to stabilize morale and popular support.

after all.

Among the current 170,000 Ming troops, 150,000 are the Jingchu troops brought by Zuo Liangyu, and Zuo Liangyu's troops have always had a lack of military discipline and a completely bandit style, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.

If there were military courts in the Ming Dynasty these days, then every one of the 150,000 people under Zuo Liangyu's command would have to be brought to court, and the minimum sentence would be ten years.

Now that Zuo Liangyu has been thrown into the pit, once this news is spread, the morale of the military will inevitably be shaken.

At this time, Zhu Youjian, the Chongzhen Emperor, appeared, personally pardoned these people for all the crimes they had committed, and rewarded them. At the same time, he used his speech skills to draw a super pie, and the military morale would naturally be stabilized. .

No matter what age you are, hanging out is always selfish.

The reason why this group of people followed Zuo Liangyu and only had Zuo Liangyu in their eyes was because Zuo Liangyu allowed them to make a fortune. At the same time, Zuo Liangyu could protect them from being cheated while making a fortune, and now the emperor came forward to guarantee it. Their names, as long as these big-headed soldiers have normal heads, they will choose to kneel on the ground at this time and shout: We are willing to fight for Your Majesty and fight for the Ming Dynasty! Sun, moon, mountains and rivers! Immortal!

"Yes!"

Zhu Youjian took a deep breath, and then gave Ding Qirui a look. Supervisor Ding hurriedly bowed his body and led Zhu Youjian out of the door. As the nominal leader of this Ming army, Ding Qirui, of course, had to give Zhu Youjian Let inspection be your guide.

Subsequently.

Lao Zhu glanced at the scene and couldn't help but frown.

There really isn't any that can be used.

"Brother, I still need a few more people."

The words fell.

Ji Boying put down the teacup in his hand and thought slightly.

Swish.

The wind moves slightly.

In an instant, all the famous founding generals of the Hongwu Dynasty were present in this temporary military meeting room.

Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Tang He, Fu Youde, Feng Sheng, Zhu Wenzheng, Mu Ying and so on were all brought here.

All the famous founding generals of the Ming Dynasty that Ji Boying could recall were all summoned from the Hongwu Ming Dynasty.

Since Lao Zhu wants to take action personally this time.

Naturally, it will be easier to use his original founding team.

However, among this group of founding generals, Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu were not present. The two of them were currently on the northern outskirts of the Hongwu Emperor's capital, leading seven thousand elite cavalry, on standby at any time.

Next, they will become airborne troops on the battlefield. As Lao Zhu's plenipotentiary ambassadors, they will send the most sincere warmth to the enemy.

The original generals of the Chongzhen time and space, such as Yang Wenyue, Fang Guoding and others, were all stunned. In front of the famous founding generals, they could not even be counted as shit, they could only stand there in a daze.

then.

Lao Zhu stood up, and the aura of battlefield killing that had not appeared in him for a long time burst out again.

Looking at his group of generals, it seemed like he was dreaming back to more than ten years ago.

"Now."

"Let's have a fight, close the door and beat the dog."

Hearing this, all the generals headed by Xu Da grinned and clasped their fists together.

"I wish to honor the Commander-in-Chief's command!"

Obviously.

Everyone dreams back to 1355.

That year, Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Taiping, built the Taiping Xingguoyi Marshal's Mansion, and established himself as marshal.

........................

Five days later (for Ji Boying and the bunch of spectators in Hongwu Zuixian Tower, only a moment passed), the immortal master followed Lao Zhu's suggestion and made arrangements, and reviewed the Chongzhen timeline. corresponding stroke).

After all, waiting is really a boring thing. It would be a waste of life to let Ji Boying wait for five days in Chongzhen.

It was a cool night, with a few stars and a bright moon, and a light drizzle.

The location of Zhuxian Town, the military formation in the southwest.

One hundred thousand Li Chuang's army was stationed here, standing on the upper stream. From this position, it exerted pressure on the Ming army in the lower section of the river.

In the large tent of the Chinese army.

King Li Chuang, who was wearing armor, looked like a farmer at the moment, squatting on the ground and eating sesame cakes.

To his left and right, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance were sitting quietly. The three of them had not spoken for more than ten minutes. Judging from the expressions on the faces of Niu Jinxing and Song Xiaozi, they were both serious.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Zuo Liangyu and other troops have been stranded in Zhuxian Town for half a month, and we have cut off the water source for half a month. Before the troops were sent out, Tan Ma had already come to report. Among the Ming army, the killings started yesterday. Horses eat meat and drink blood to quench their thirst. The timing is absolutely right."

Niu Jinxing said.

About an hour ago, in the darkness of night.

King Li Chuang issued an order, ordering Liu Zongmin to lead 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard and launch a tentative offensive against Zuo Liangyu's tribe to see what the Ming army was like now.

This time King Li Chuang brought the main force to intercept the Ming court's reinforcements, totaling 70,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry, all equipped with firearms.

There is plenty of money.

The silver coins taken from Prince Fu's Mansion in Luoyang have not been used up for more than a year. On the anniversary of Zhu Changxun's death, King Li Chuang specially gave Zhu Changxun some paper money to thank him for his hard work in saving military expenses for himself for decades. , thanked him for his outstanding contributions to the rebel army.

"Well, Brother Niu is right. There is internal discord in the Ming army. Ding Qirui, as the commander, is unable to command Zuo Liangyu at all. Zuo Liangyu has always been afraid of the king's power. Now the Ming army has long lost its chance to fight, but it is too late. If you refuse to withdraw your troops for too long, it is simply a fortune that has been sent to King Chuang from heaven, and it cannot be justified if you don’t take it.”

Listening to the words of his two great counselors, King Li Chuang, who was eating cakes, did not speak.

Huang Lai'er, who has been fighting for more than ten years, certainly knows what these two people said.

He was thinking about something else at the moment.

Where is Zhu Yuanzhang?

Wasn't it a one-on-one fight as promised? !

If Zhu Yuanzhang was here, the Ming army would never have such inconsistent orders.

‘Is this a trick on me? ’

While thinking about it, Huang Lai'er stuffed the last bite of the pancake in his hand into his mouth, focusing on not wasting food.

At this moment, the curtain of the big tent was lifted instantly, and a soldier rushed in, shouting loudly.

"Report to King Chuang that Liu Shuai has already invaded the Ming army's camp!"

"It is overwhelming and unstoppable!"

"The Ming army collapsed thousands of miles away!"

The words fell.

Another person rushed in hurriedly, his face was extremely nervous, and his tongue was tied when he spoke.

"King Chuang, one by one, before one stick of incense, Commander Cao led his army and horses to kill the Ming army toward Chao Chao!"

Commander Cao is Luo Rucai. This fellow is nicknamed Cao Cao, so his subordinates respectfully call him Commander Cao because he looks rather careless.

"No, this Luo Rucai definitely wants to take this opportunity to make a fortune and stand on his own feet!"

Niu Jinxing slapped his thigh, with a look of anxiety on his face.

"King Chuang, we should immediately order the army to attack across the board. We must defeat the main force of the Ming army before Luo Rucai. We must not let Luo Rucai have a chance to establish himself."

Hearing this, Huang Lai'er frowned and did not make an immediate decision. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Song Xiance. Song Chaozi also nodded, obviously agreeing with Niu Jinxing's suggestion just now.

"Ah."

Huang Lai'er nodded slightly, then slapped his thigh, stood up, and strode outside the tent.

"Pass my king's order and the whole army will attack!"

however.

When he walked to the tent of the camp, he suddenly thought of something. Huang Lai'er stopped in his steps. Perhaps thinking of the tragic experience of being driven into the mountains, he paused for a moment and revised his order.

"Leave 20,000 infantry and 10,000 elite cavalry stationed in place to respond in case of any eventuality."

Afterwards, Huang Lai'er quickly walked out of the camp and went to kill people with a knife.

Not long after, hurried footsteps and the sound of horse hooves were heard outside the Chinese army camp. About an hour passed.

Especially Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, who stayed in the Chinese army's tent, were standing in front of the sand table. They had already agreed that Zhuxian Town would achieve a great victory and that Kaifeng City would be successfully captured.

and then.

As the chief counselor and chief military officer in King Chuang's tent, they have already begun to plan the next strategic route for King Chuang.

After some discussion, both of their eyes fell on the same place, Tongguan.

And just then.

Wow.

The curtain of the military camp was suddenly opened again.

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance subconsciously looked up. After all, not everyone could enter the Chinese army's tent. Their expressions suddenly changed and they quickly stepped forward to meet them.

"What's going on, Your Majesty?!"

Li Zicheng entered the camp, covered in blood, his armor was damaged, and his face was full of rage.

"Luo Rucai did not attack the Ming army, but mutinied in front of the formation. His own soldiers fought to the death to protect me from the trouble."

"immediately."

"Collect all the soldiers and horses and follow me to fight back. I will sacrifice Luo Rucai's head to the flag!"

After saying this, Li Zicheng took the lead and turned away.

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiaozi looked at each other, and both saw horror in each other's eyes, but they didn't think much about it. Luo Rucai had always been cunning, and mutiny before the battle was not a surprise.

The two of them followed each other out of the camp, and 30,000 soldiers and horses all broke out of the camp.

........................

Hongwu time and space.

Wuzong Zhu Houzhao: Two idiots, Tianqi and Chongzhen, are more than ten years older than Li Zicheng. They both have unusually long beards. Can’t you tell? !
